Answer:

36 laps Ronnie swim during practice .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the laps that Ronnie swims be x .

Let us assume that the laps that Jackie swims be y .

As given

For every 3 laps that Jackie swims, Ronnie swims 4 laps.

i.e

3 × laps that Ronnie swims = 4 × laps that Jackie swims

3 × x = 4 × y

3x = 4y

Equation becomes

x + y  = 63

Thus by using 3x = 4y .

y = \frac{3x}{4}

Thus

x +\frac{3x}{4} = 63

4x + 3x = 63 × 4

7x = 252

x = 36

Put the value of x in the equation x + y  = 63

36 + y = 63

y = 63 - 36

y = 27

Therefore the 36 laps Ronnie swim during practice .

What is the answer to this?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Y = 28.31

Z = 13.29

Angle A = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

For Angle A:

Remember a triangle has a total of 180 degree angles. So set up your formula as

180 - 62 -90 = Angle A

For Y:

The sine of an angle is equal to the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.  

sin (B) = opp/hyp or b/c or (y)

sinB = 62

b = 25

Rewrite as c=b/2SinB -> c=25/sin62 -> Y = 28.31

For Z:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the unknown side.

z^{2}  = 28.31^{2}  - 25^{2}

z = 13.29

What is the y-intercept of the line perpendicular to (1,1) and (-3,-1) and passes through (-3,-2)
marin [14]

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first establish the reference line (the one that the second line will be perpendicular to).  We are told that this line passes through two points:

(1,1) and (-3,-1).

We'll find a line equation using the point slope form format to start:  

(y - y1) = m * (x - x1), where m is the slope and the x and y are from two points.

(x,y) = (1,1)

(x1,y1) = (-3,-1)

Rearrange the equation:

(y - y1) = m * (x - x1)

m = (y - y1)/ (x - x1)

m = (1-(-1))/(1-(-3))

m = 2/4, or 1/2:  The slope is 1/2.    [<u>This is "m."]</u>

We can use the slope-intercept form for this line (y=mx + b) and then calculate b, the y-intercept:

y = (1/2)x + b

Use either of the two given points.  I'll use (1,1) since I have memorized the "1" math tables.

y = (1/2)x + b  

1 = (1/2)(1) + b for (1,1)

b = 1/2

This makes the reference line:  y = (1/2)x+(1/2)

===

The line perpendicular must have a slope that is the negative inverse of (1/2).  This would be -(2/1), or -2.

We can then write y = -2x + b

To find be, enter the one given point for this line:  (-3,-2)

y = -2x + b

-2 = -2(-3) + b

-2 = 6 + b

b = -8

The perpendicular line is thus:

y = -2x - 8

It has a y-intercept of -8

Rewrite the following quadratic functions in intercept or factored form. Show your work.
Mariulka [41]

<u>Answer:</u>

y = 5x (x+2)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following the quadratic function and we are to rewrite it in intercept or factored form:

y = 5x^2 + 10x

We can factorize the given expression so taking the common factors out of it to get:

y=5x^2 + 10x

y = 5x (x + 2)

Therefore, the factored form of the given quadratic function is y = 5x (x+2).
